LucasArts Declares Dedication to Innovation

'LucasArts had seen a lot of success establishing new IPs in the 90s, but as of late the company has sort of "lost it." In particular, he wants his company to be known for more than just Star Wars and Indiana Jones. These are very profitable franchises, though, so moving forward, its priorities will be Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and new IPs.'

Can anyone else say opportunistic business move?

Is is me, or since the release & success of the Will has 'innovative' become to the video game industry the kind of buzzword that 'Green' & 'environmentally friendly' are to, well, pretty much every other consumer facing business at the moment?

@AdamG said: LucasArts is just a bigwig company now. They smell money elsewhere with the success of Season 1 and now realize how stupid they are.

I could be sad for the loss of Freelance Police, Full Throttle 2 and possibly further (worthy) Monkey Island sequels, but I think I'm rather sad about the loss of the old LucasArts (LucasFilm?). Probably a victim of their own success. :(

I dont know how that guy takes him seriously.. when they cancelled freelance police I promised myself never to buy another LucasArts product.. we are so interesting in new IPs we cancel them just before release!

I find it ironic that when George was making episode 4 of his SW film, he stated that how he hates bigwig corporation and wants his movies indenpendant from the controls of big companies. Guess he really wanted to be in control of things rather than making indie movies. Hypthocrit
